Sure, if it's an ACTIVE antenna . . . amplifier built into
the base and powered either by special coupler that
carries power up the coax -or- separate leads to the
power bus.
Passive antennas are much less expensive and can even
be constructed by the amateur builder. A gentleman gave
a forum at OSH last year on this topic. I'm trying
to track down the information and make it downloadable
from our website.
